With FREE shipping, that is a great buy!

Each weighs 42-lbs. I have two already on my YM2610. I can fit two more like these up front. These are the JohnDeere/Yanmar types in the green pix.

The two pack comes in at $115 still with FREE shipping!

These will fit a majority of Yanmar YM series and many of the JohnDeere CUTs.

The lowest price I had ever found with FREE shipping was $64+tax at my local Lowes. But, you have to order on-line and do store pickup.

I got a pipe and filled it with free lead and had a buddy weld brackets on it. Not as tractor like and can get inthe way if you turn close to trees and such but for free

I like free. My Bumper full of Free Fishing Anchor Lead I collected at the local lakes. I believe it came in around 55-60Lbs.

Sweet. I've seen people use PVC pipe with cement and end caps too. Just that cement isn't as heavy as finshing weight. The PVC pipe brackets are easy to get and mount to the front tractor bar.

I do like how you colored matched the square iron tube to the tractor.

Plus, you can attach if needed a come-along to the front or a battery operated winch. Better options than the tractor weights just hanging there IMO.

After using a boom pole to move my 5ft finish mower and having the front wheels raise off the ground I discovered front counter weights were needed I made a 32X16X21 tool carrier bolted to the front weight bar and use 15X15X4" cement blocks avg weight 70lbs each got them FREE 12 of them also built side bolt on frames for my box blade adds 140lbs works great.
